This is a nice 2000 Corvette regular coupe with removable glass top. Automatic. It's black with black leather interior. The body has 124k miles, but all of the motor work and other miscellaneous parts were installed at 117k miles. All work was professionally done by Gwatney Chevrolet in Jacksonville. It was professionally dyno tuned by Gwatney as well. I have all of the paperwork and receipts. I have most all of the paperwork and receipts from where I purchased the parts as well. I have installed an Alpine CD player and replaced all of the speakers with Infinity speakers powered by a Pioneer 300w amp. HID 8000k low beam headlights. Blacked out tail lights with flush mount kit installed. CD player bezel and waterfall emblem have custom airbrushed graphics.
This is everything I had installed at Gwatney:
Vararam Cold Air intake
90mm fast intake
90mm throttle body
Ported heads -- all work done by Elliott's Port Works in Red Oak, Texas.
The LS1 LE2 heads consist of:
Patriot Gold Dbl springs, Ti retainers, locks and locators
custom valve job
mill, cleaning and assembly
flow about 305/220
Lunati Camshaft - 231/235 .617/.621 112 LSA
SLP Performance Ported Oil Pump
SLP Performance Timing Chain
Headers -- unsure of the brand. Installed when I bought the car.
3.90 gears

Custom black with polished lip Corvette wheels. 17x9.5 in the front on 245/45/17 Nitto NT555 tires and 18x10.5 on 305/35/18 Nitto 555r drag radials.

The bad things -- Would need a small amount of paint work. The front bumper is peeling in spots by the air dams and the drivers side front fender is not the same color black as the rest of the car. I had planned on wrapping the car in Matte white. I have an entire roll of Matte white, enough to wrap the entire car and have extra left over, if you are interested in that as well.
The headlight motors need to be replaced. They aren't grinding, but the motors have gotten to where they will go up, but not back down. You can manually roll them back down.
I'm sure I have left some things out, but if you have questions or would like to see more pictures, please text 870-918-43zero zero.
Only reason I'm selling is that I found a C6 I want to buy and need the cash.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
